“I can’t decide whether the EFF’s “Patent Busting” project is too clever by half. Will it really do any good?

The big problem in patents isn’t that bad ones can be overturned — especially given how difficult and expensive it can be to do so. The problem is the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and its abysmally lousy record for issuing lousy patents. Until someone — namely Congress — tackles the issue of patent quality, getting lousy ones overturned is only working at the margins of a much bigger mess.”
